Everything went quiet as Halvor came to a stop. His robe was left in tatters, offering no cover whatsoever, leaving him completely exposed. The same happened to the avatar behind him, with nothing left for concealment."You're... You're courting death!" Halvor was in an absolute rage as his energy burst out uncontrollably. Its intensity was more than double that of his previous most powerful attack.Clothing was typically so closely associated with the body that it formed part of one's outward image.This was even more so for avatars, where the clothing was almost inseparable. After all, an avatar was not a physical entity, making it nearly impossible for the clothing to be damaged or torn.Yet, Grant's attack had left him exposed in front of so many deities. How would Halvor face anyone in the future?Grant remained in his previous position, merely laughing and looking at Halvor. He pointed at him and said, "No wonder you can say such vile things. It turns out you're small-minded

Kaiser looked over immediately.A middle-aged man dressed in a sharp suit with blond hair and blue eyes, embodying the classic features of someone from Talonia, walked in. Kaiser recognized him as a department head from Talonia, though he wasn't very high-ranking in the country.Kaiser looked around to see if he was accompanied by anyone but noticed that he was alone."Mr. Geer, I've come specifically to apologize to you," the man said. "Due to an oversight by our staff, we accidentally forgot that you were here yesterday. Everyone left after work, leaving you here overnight. On Talonia's behalf, I apologize to you."Apologize? Though he was apologizing, his expression didn't show any sincerity at all. It was like he deliberately chose a poor excuse, claiming he forgot after work last night.It clearly seemed like he was mocking Kaiser. How could someone forget about and leave another country's president waiting for so long?"It's okay." Kaiser, still smiling despite having not s

"Did Kaiser really say that?" asked a stout old man sitting in an office chair upstairs. He wore glasses and appeared quite refined, but despite his scholarly appearance, his sharp and savvy nature was evident. It was none other than Brandon Nielson, Talonia's president."Yes!" the old man respectfully responded. "And he said these words in a very angry tone. It seems that his patience has truly reached its limit.""Limits?" Brandon dismissively remarked, "Humans have no limits, or rather, I want to see where his limits lie. Just leave him be, and don't bother with him."Does he really think that threats will work? It's laughable. He talks about fighting to the bitter end, but I'd love to see how he plans to do that. Haha."The old man appeared hesitant and, after some thought, said, "Mr. President, shouldn't you reconsider? With a major conflict approaching, we don't need to provoke Kaiser."If he decides to target us during the final battle for personal reasons, it could cost us

Brandon was dumbfounded and couldn't understand why such an unusual event was happening. Could it really be that Silas was going to make an appearance?Indeed, the swirling clouds above suddenly ceased their movement, revealing a mystical doorway to a void. Though it seemed thousands of miles away, it appeared as if it were right in front of them. The door was both magnificent and exuded a sense of ancient simplicity.The door then slowly opened, and a voice came from within. "Come on up!"The voice stunned everyone. Silas had truly made an appearance. They all knew before this that Talonia had a main deity, but no one had ever seen him. Never did they think they would be able to hear Silas' voice in their lifetime.The people around were filled with devotion, all kneeling with expressions of contentment on their faces."No..." Brandon was the most upset. It had taken him a lot of effort to get Silas to show up initially, trying every method imaginable. Now, with just a few words

Kaiser retorted, "Looking at global history, a temporary victory is always just that—temporary. The true victor isn't necessarily the one who wins a battle but the one who's the last one standing."The outcome with Amelicon is clear—you will inevitably become adversaries. When that happens, how will you persevere?""But partnering with Darsia is quite the opposite. Hardship is only temporary, and as long as you can defeat Amelicon, you'll have the last laugh."One option leads to an outcome that's certain to be painful, while the other could lead to happiness. Why should we choose a path with a guaranteed unhappy ending and give up on one that might bring joy? Deciding right now might be too short-sighted, don't you think?"Hearing this, Brandon's eyes widened in fury. "You're just arguing for the sake of arguing, twisting concepts! How can we possibly win by standing with Darsia? It's impossible! The outcome is already determined, so how could we win in the end?"Mr. Geer, give u
